Commercial Transactions & Capital Projects

We deliver strategic, pragmatic legal advice across commercial transactions and capital projects, from structuring global M&A to negotiating critical contracts, with a focus on protecting value and accelerating execution.

Overview

We work alongside clients to execute commercial transactions and capital projects with precision and impact. Our practice covers everything from shareholder arrangements and international structuring to high-value acquisitions, financings and project development. We represent a broad client base, from growth-stage innovators to global public companies, and are trusted for our insight into both domestic and cross-border dealmaking.

Our team’s experience in private equity, governance and infrastructure provides clients with a competitive advantage at the negotiation table and beyond. We don’t just advise on what’s legal—we help define what’s possible.
